An error occurred after I downloaded version 6.8 and the latest version of Gradle.

A problem occurred evaluating project ‘:launcher’.
< Failed to apply plugin ‘com.android.internal.version-check’.
<< Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl…

What do I have to do?

I’m attaching more details in the added pictures.

  1. The error:

    Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.

    Likely means:

    • Your "gradle"-folder is missing from your project folder:
      (Note: Not to be mistaken for the ".gradle"-folder which is a different folder)

      Solution:
      Get a copy of the "gradle"-folder from another working project (or create a new project).

    Or:

    • Your "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties" has an incorrect value in the "distributionUrl=":

      Solution:
      Change the value in "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties" to
      distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip


    I hade the same problem after moving my project to another computer:

    Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.

    Please fix the project’s Gradle settings.
    Gradle Settings.

    Clicking on the "Gradle Settings"-link opened the Gradle settings Window, but the Gradle JDK was already correctly set to version 11:
    Gradle Settings.

    So my next step was to check the Project Structure:
    Project Structure

    And update the Gradle Version to 7.0.2:
    Gradle Version

    But that led to this error instead:
    gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties

    ¤ What went wrong:
    An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: ‘com.android.application’]
    » Failed to apply plugin ‘com.android.internal.version-check’.
    » Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in D:FilesCode-Projectgradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-7.0.2-all.zip

    Now the error points me towards a problem within the "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties"-file.

    Looking into that I found out the real problem – the "gradle"-folder was completely missing.
    (Note: The ".gradle"-folder is not the same as the "gradle"-folder)

    Copying the "gradle"-folder from another project solved my problems.

    Now my "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties"-file looks like this:

    distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip

  4. The error says that the gradle version in your system is less than your project’s gradle verion. That’s the reason why it is unable to compile your project.

    System gradle version < Project’s gradle version

    So there are 2 solutions here,

    1. Change the distribution URL in the gradle-wrapper.properties file in the android/gradle/wrapper directory to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip.
    2. Update your gradle plugin. If you use some environment variable, download the latest verion from Gradle | Manual Installation and replace it with your current one. Don’t forget to update the path variable in system properties.
